Now that they’re no longer working on Dead Island 2 with Deep Silver, the development team at Yager has time to concentrate on Dreadnought, its impressive-looking spaceship combat game.
The team has released a new trailer for Gamescom 2015, showing off Dreadnought’s various ship classes and their weapon loadouts, from the sniper-esque Artillery Cruiser to the Dreadnoughts themselves, hulking tanks with punishing broadside cannon arrays.
Lots of interesting decisions and tactical options at play here. I particularly like the interplay between the various ship types - it’s not just lumbering battlecruisers, there are speedy corvettes and frigates to pilot as well. There aren’t too many action games out there that let you pilot heavy spaceships, so there’s definitely a niche for Yager to fill.
You can sign up for the game’s upcoming Beta on official Dreadnought website. It’s set for a full release sometime next year.
